A total of 4147 bids were placed in the course of the auction, with the most - 233 - placed on the MTZ-82 wheeled tractor. The lowest number of bidders on any one vehicle was two.
”Based on the results, one can say the auction turned out really well, as there was a lot of interest in the vehicles, and on each vehicle several bids were made," said Jaan Schults, an organiser of the auction from the Forest Management Department at RMK. The next auction on the osta.ee portal begins this Thursday, 13 November, when the next 90 vehicles and trailers from various categories are put up for sale.
At the auction held, the average sale price of ten Lada Nivas worked out to be approximately EEK 17 000 and, for 11 Suzuki Jimnys, EEK 37 000. The average price came out to be EEK 36 000 for bigger SUVs and EEK 17 000 for passenger cars.
The vehicle fleet of RMK is going to be scaled down by about one third, via the auctions that are being held.
